Just wondering if there's a website out there that allows you to hotlink to the latest version of jquery. Does Google code allow you, or does jQuery.com itself?
What I'm not looking for is a site that just happens to have jQuery that I can pinch. I want a site that says that you can hotlink to their jQuery.
Yes, it's available on Google's CDN.
Everything you need is here: http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/
You can link directly to the javascript file: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js
or use the google.load method
Update
Its also available on Microsoft's CDN or the jQuery CDN
You can have google host it in 1 of 2 methods.
Method 1
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// You may specify partial version numbers, such as "1" or "1.3",
// with the same result. Doing so will automatically load the
// latest version matching that partial revision pattern
// (i.e. both 1 and 1.3 would load 1.3.2 today).
google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
// Place init code here instead of $(document).ready()
});
</script>
Method 2 (more common)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
I know jquery.com host's the file as well for users, they might have redirected there jquery hosting to use the google version though.
Microsoft is now hosting jQuery as well: http://www.asp.net/ajax/cdn/#4
In addition to JQuery, Google CDN also hosts JQueryUI and all the default Themeroller CSS UI themes (including images!). If you're planning to build a UI from JQuery this is pretty clutch.

Google hosts jquery for you.
